Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
Both MLS property data (12/12 listings) and remarks agree that Kaioo Terrace was built in 1970. The explicit phrase 'Built in 1970' in the remarks confirms this construction year.
Listings include units on floors 1 through 4, and one unit is described as being on the 'top-floor' with no higher floors mentioned. This aligns with property data where the highest observed unit floor is 4, indicating a 4-story building.
No listing remarks refer to the building as an 'X-unit' project or give any total unit count. Without explicit statements or reliable MLS aggregate data, the total number of units cannot be determined from the available information.
I looked for explicit owner-occupancy percentages or phrases like "majority owner occupied" and found none. The only ownership evidence is a single note that one unit was owner-occupied, which is not enough to override the existing 25% building-level estimate.
I searched the remarks for explicit elevator counts such as "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or similar wording, and found none. The only evidence is a singular reference to a "secured elevator," which supports the presence of at least one elevator but not a different count.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
Remarks refer to 'The A/C unit is large enough to cool down the whole apartment' and 'The unit includes an air conditioner,' implying window or wall units rather than central AC. With no mention of central air in fees and no MLS support, central AC is not included in the maintenance charges.
Multiple remarks clarify that maintenance fees cover all major utilities 'except cable and internet.' Two different agents use nearly identical exclusions, and no listing suggests cable is included, so cable TV service is not part of the HOA.
Half of the MLS listings explicitly check the code for common area electricity being included in fees, which is typical for a small condo with shared amenities like a pool and secured entry. No remarks suggest separate billing for common area power, supporting that common electricity is included.
The building is consistently described as 'leasehold' with lease-end dates and ground lease rent, not as a cooperative. Since co-op taxes are never mentioned and there is no MLS indication, co-op taxes are not part of the maintenance fee.
Electricity is consistently included across the building’s listings. Multiple remarks explicitly state that monthly maintenance fees include "electricity" or "gas, electric and water," which strongly confirms this as a building-level feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
Gas is included in the monthly maintenance fees across all current listings. Remarks explicitly mention phrases like "maintenance fees include water, sewer, gas, electricity" and "Gas, electric and water are included," making this very strong evidence.
Hot water is supported by the MLS inclusion data, with 14/14 listings marked HOTWAT and no WTRHTR indicator present. While remarks mostly say "all major utilities" or list water/sewer/gas/electric, the consistent MLS pattern provides strong evidence that hot water is included.
Remarks clearly carve out 'cable and internet' as not being part of the monthly maintenance coverage. With no MLS support and repeated explicit exclusions, internet service is not included in the HOA fee.
Although the building is near Waikiki and Ala Moana, none of the remarks reference a marina or boating amenities. The absence of both MLS and textual evidence indicates marina-related costs are not included in the maintenance fee.
Sewer is consistently included in the maintenance fee. Several remarks directly state that fees include "water, sewer, gas, and electricity" or similar phrasing, matching the current MLS checkbox data across all listings.
Water is included across all current listings. Remarks repeatedly confirm this with statements such as "maintenance fees include water" and "all main utilities" or "water, garbage, sewer, gas and electric are included," which strongly supports the feature.
Multiple agents describe the amenity area as having just a pool and jacuzzi/hot tub, with no mention of BBQ or grills. Given the lack of textual support and only 2/12 MLS checkboxes, BBQ facilities likely do not exist or are being mis-entered.
Across 12 listings, there are no mentions of bike storage, bicycle rooms, or bike racks in either remarks or amenities, even though other building features are carefully described. One listing mentions ease of bringing in a surfboard but not any storage facility, reinforcing the conclusion that there is no dedicated bike storage. The absence of any reference across many listings strongly indicates this feature is not available.
Listings focus on walking access to beaches and Ala Moana but do not indicate any on-site dock or boat facility. This, combined with MLS data, strongly indicates there is no boat dock or marina access with the building.
Across multiple agent descriptions, parking and guest parking are highlighted, but a car wash is never mentioned. The low and inconsistent MLS checkbox rate plus zero textual support suggests the car wash entries are likely data errors.
The building is described as a boutique-style condo with pool and hot tub but no shared clubhouse facility. The consistent omission in all remarks and MLS data indicates there is no clubhouse.
All 12 listings emphasize value, low maintenance fees, and basic amenities like pool, hot tub, and secured entry, but none describe concierge or front-desk services. The presence of only a Resident Manager and the absence of any concierge references strongly indicate there is no concierge service.
While pets are permitted (with verification), there is no indication of a dedicated dog park or run on-site. The combination of pet-allowance language without any dog-park reference and no MLS flags supports that this amenity is not present.
Across 12 listings, there are no references to a doorman or lobby attendant, which would be a major selling point if present. Agents instead highlight a Resident Manager and secured access, indicating there is no dedicated doorman service at this property.
Across all provided Kaioo Terrace listings there is no reference to a gym, exercise room, or fitness center. Combined with 0/12 MLS records indicating an exercise room, this strongly suggests the building does not offer this amenity.
Kaioo Terrace is presented as an affordable, boutique condo rather than a full-service luxury high-rise. The absence of any building car service mentions indicates there is no limo or house-car service.
Agents highlight amenities like secured entry, laundry on each floor, and the pool/hot tub but do not mention any community or conference room. This lack of evidence strongly suggests the building does not have a meeting room.
Across 12 listings, agents consistently highlight the pool and jacuzzi but never mention a patio, deck, lanai, or rooftop/outdoor deck feature. Combined with 0/12 MLS amenity checkboxes for PATDEC/COVPAT, this strongly indicates the building does not offer a notable patio/deck amenity that buyers would search for.
While the neighborhood is described as walkable, there is no indication of a dedicated jogging or walking path as an on-site amenity. The absence of such mentions and MLS flags supports that this feature does not exist.
The building is marketed primarily for adults (Waikiki lifestyle, pool, jacuzzi) with no references to children's play facilities. The lack of any playground mention across all listings and MLS data indicates there is no playground amenity.
None of the remarks describe any private or shared yard space; instead they emphasize a pool/jacuzzi courtyard and urban convenience. Given the building type and complete absence of yard-related language, it is very likely there is no private yard amenity.
Amenities are limited to pool, hot tub, laundry, and security, with no golf-related features described. This makes a putting green at Kaioo Terrace extremely unlikely.
While there is clearly a pool/hot-tub area, agents do not use terms like 'recreation deck' or 'amenity deck' that MLS would flag as a recreation area. Given the language used and lack of MLS indication, there is no separately recognized recreation area beyond the pool deck.
Agents consistently describe common amenities but never refer to any recreation or game room. With zero MLS flags and no textual evidence, a dedicated recreation room is very unlikely.
Dining options are clearly off-site in Waikiki and Ala Moana, not within the building itself. With no explicit mention of an in-building restaurant and no MLS indicators, the building does not offer a restaurant amenity.
Amenities are consistently described as ground-level or standard (pool, jacuzzi, laundry), with no suggestion of rooftop features. The complete absence of rooftop references in both remarks and MLS data indicates there is no rooftop amenity area.
No current listing remarks mention a sauna, steam room, dry sauna, or wet sauna. Across the provided remarks, agents consistently describe the building’s pool and hot tub/jacuzzi amenities instead, which suggests the sauna checkbox is likely erroneous rather than a missed amenity.
None of the 12 listings for this building mention storage units, storage lockers, or extra storage in the remarks or MLS amenity fields. Agents repeatedly list other amenities like pool, hot tub, secured entry, laundry on each floor, and guest parking, but never storage, suggesting the building does not provide dedicated storage units. Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and timeframes.
One remark says the ground-floor unit makes it easy to bring in a surfboard, but that is not the same as dedicated storage. I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, and surf storage terms and found no explicit facility mentioned.
Listings repeatedly focus on the pool, hot tub, secured entry, and laundry, with no mention of tennis. The complete absence of tennis references in both remarks and MLS data indicates there is no tennis court at Kaioo Terrace.
Multiple listings explicitly mention the building has a 'refuse chute' or 'trash chute,' while other remarks also refer to trash service being included. The evidence is consistent across several agent remarks and aligns with the historical MLS data, so this feature should be treated as present.
Multiple listings mention unassigned parking, guest parking, and convenient access from parking, but never valet or valet parking. For a small boutique Waikiki condo, valet would be a major selling point, so its total absence in remarks and MLS checkboxes indicates it is not offered.
No listing uses terms like gated, fenced, or walled; instead agents market a "secured building" and "secure entrance," which typically means locked lobby doors, not an enclosed compound. With only a small minority of MLS entries checking GATED/WALFEN and no supporting remarks, this is most likely not a truly gated or walled property.
At least six different listings describe a jacuzzi or hot tub alongside the pool, and MLS data strongly supports a whirlpool amenity. This consistent, detailed language from multiple agents confirms the building has a common whirlpool/hot tub.
The pool feature is strongly confirmed. Multiple listings explicitly say "pool," "swimming pool," "pool and hot tub," "jacuzzi & pool on site," and "Cool off in the pool or relax in the jacuzzi," indicating a shared building amenity rather than a unit-specific feature. This is consistent across many remarks and aligns with the historical MLS amenity data, so confidence is very high.
Across all reviewed listings, agents describe a 'pool and jacuzzi' or 'pool and hot tub' but never a 'heated pool' or 'heated swimming pool.' MLS checkbox data for heated pool features is uniformly unchecked (0/12), so the evidence points to a standard, unheated pool with a separate spa rather than a heated swimming pool. Given the repeated omission of 'heated' in otherwise detailed amenity descriptions, it is highly likely the pool is not heated.
The property clearly has a pool, but the remarks never identify it as a saltwater pool. I searched for salt water, saltwater, saline, and salt pool language and found none.
Across 12 listings, none include washer/dryer in the inclusions, and no remarks mention in‑unit laundry. Instead, agents describe shared facilities (e.g., 'convenient laundry on each floor' and 'a community laundry area on the same floor as unit'), suggesting the building relies on common laundry rather than in‑unit machines. This pattern across multiple listings and agents supports that in‑unit laundry is not available in this building.
Evidence is strong: 8 of 13 current MLS listings include the COMLAU amenity and several public remarks explicitly mention shared laundry—phrases include 'convenient laundry facilities on each floor' and 'community laundry area on the same floor as unit'. Multiple listings from different agents consistently reference on-site/shared laundry, indicating this is a building-level amenity rather than a single-unit feature or checkbox error.
I searched the remarks for coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card-operated, and similar paid-laundry terms, but found nothing. Because the listings do not mention payment terms, this remains unconfirmed and is treated as likely not specified.
Public remarks repeatedly confirm laundry facilities are available on every floor. This is explicit and consistent across multiple listings, so confidence is very high.
Parking is strongly confirmed for Kaioo Terrace. Across the provided remarks, parking is mentioned in many listings with phrases like '1 unassigned parking stall,' 'one parking stall,' 'with parking,' and 'guest parking.' The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with the current MLS parking_features data, which shows parking on all listings and none marked NONE.
One listing clearly states '1 unassigned parking stall', and no remarks mention assigned, reserved, or deeded parking. With 0/12 MLS records checking the assigned box, the evidence points to generally unassigned stalls rather than assigned parking.
Remarks consistently describe proximity to 'parking' without mentioning a garage or cover, and units emphasize easy access from a surface-style space. Given the complete absence of covered/garage indicators in MLS data, covered parking is unlikely for this building.
I looked for language such as deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed. The remarks instead consistently describe unassigned parking, which indicates the parking is not deeded to the unit.
None of the listings mention electric vehicle charging or related amenities. With all MLS records also omitting EV charging, it appears the building does not offer dedicated EV charging stations.
I searched for any monthly parking charge or rental fee and found none. The clearest remark explicitly says there is no additional monthly cost for parking, so the parking fee is $0.
At least one agent highlights 'GUEST PARKING' as a notable feature, emphasizing that residents need not hunt for street parking. Combined with multiple MLS records checking the guest parking feature, this strongly supports the existence of guest parking at the building.
Security descriptions focus on the building and elevators rather than the parking area itself, and no agent notes a gated or controlled parking entry. With SECENT unchecked in all MLS records, there is no solid evidence of secured-entry parking for this building.
Listings refer to 'parking' or a 'parking stall' without describing tandem or back-to-back arrangements. The complete absence of tandem references in remarks and MLS suggests the building does not offer tandem parking as a standard feature.
All marketing focuses on self-park stalls and convenience of direct access from the parking area, with no hint of valet operations. Given the building type and MLS data, valet parking can be safely ruled out.
I searched for terms like waitlist, waiting list, or join the waitlist for parking and found nothing. With no direct evidence of a waitlist, this is set to false at low-to-moderate confidence.
The most detailed listing states the complex "boasts a Resident Manager... and a secured elevator & building," which directly matches keyed or restricted elevator access. Additional listings reference "secured entry" and a "secure entrance," supporting the existence of building-level controlled access to the elevator.
There is evidence of general secured access, but not the specific card/fob system required by this feature. I looked for key card, fob access, keycard entry, and card-reader wording and did not find it.
None of the 12 listings mention a security guard, 24-hour security, or on-site security personnel; instead, they reference a Resident Manager and general secured access. MLS amenities also show no security-guard box checked (0/12), which strongly indicates there is no dedicated guard service at this building.
The remarks reference secured entry, CCTV, and a resident manager, but not a patrol service. I searched for patrol-related wording and found no indication of security patrol on site.
About 7 of 12 listings describe a "secured building," "secure entrance," or "secured entry" but none mention cameras, CCTV, or video monitoring, which agents typically highlight if present. With MLS also showing 0/12 for security systems, the evidence points to physical access control without a formal video surveillance system.
No listings describe central air or HVAC, and 0/12 MLS records mark any central AC feature. Remarks consistently highlight individual room/unit A/C rather than a building-wide system, indicating the building does not offer central AC.
None of the 12 listings indicate split or ductless systems, and there are no textual mentions of mini-splits or similar equipment. The only specific type called out is a window AC, so split AC is very likely not present in this building.
Strong evidence that Kaioo Terrace units offer window or unit-style air conditioning. Several current remarks explicitly mention 'window AC,' 'A/C unit,' and 'air conditioning,' while the historical MLS record was already high confidence for this feature. The remarks appear to come from multiple listings and agents, not just a single copied description.
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS checkbox data: 12 of 14 current listings list CONCRE, which is consistent with the prior high-confidence pattern. None of the public remarks explicitly mention a different construction type, so the historical MLS evidence remains the best indicator for this building.
Agents do not mark double-wall on any listing, and instead identify concrete/hollow-tile construction. This makes double-wall wood construction very unlikely for this building.
Three separate MLS listings explicitly mark hollow tile (HOLTIL) along with concrete, with no conflicting entries. This pattern across multiple agents strongly indicates the building incorporates hollow-tile construction.
No listing selects the masonry/stucco checkbox and no remarks reference stucco or masonry walls. In the absence of explicit evidence, this feature is not confirmed for the building.
No MLS entries indicate steel-frame construction, and agents instead mark concrete/hollow tile. With no textual references to steel framing, it is very unlikely this is a steel-frame building.
Neither the MLS checkboxes nor the remarks identify a slab foundation. In the absence of explicit statements, slab construction cannot be reliably confirmed from the available data.
No analysis available
No listings select wood frame construction and instead overwhelmingly mark concrete (and sometimes hollow tile). There is no mention in any remarks of wood framing, so the building is very unlikely to be wood-frame.
No MLS entries or remarks reference an above-ground foundation or raised under-structure. Because there is no direct evidence either way, this feature cannot be confirmed for the building.
One MLS listing marks BRICK, but the overwhelming majority mark concrete (and some hollow tile), and no remarks mention any brick construction. This points to a concrete/hollow-tile building rather than a brick structure.
No listings indicate single-wall construction, and all available data instead point to concrete/hollow-tile. Given the building type and era, single-wall construction can be confidently ruled out.
I looked for any indication that short-term rentals, vacation rentals, NUC/TVU use, or similar are allowed. The remarks repeatedly prohibit STRs and even mention a minimum six-month rental term, so STRs are not allowed.
I searched for hotel rental pool, hotel program, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool, or any managed rental pool language. Nothing was found, and because STRs are prohibited, the hotel pool feature must be false.
I looked for any requirement that owners participate in a rental or hotel pool, including mandatory program language. There were no such mentions, and since short-term rentals are not allowed, a mandatory pool cannot apply here.
All observed listings describe their units as leasehold and explicitly note that the 'fee interest is not currently available', with no references to any fee simple units in the building. Given multiple independent agents echo this and no FS listings are seen, it is very likely the building currently has no fee simple units.
All the provided listings refer to the units as leasehold and give consistent lease information, e.g., 'lease that runs through 2033' or 'ground lease expiring 12/31/2033'. No fee purchase option is available according to remarks, so all observed listings are LH and 0 are FS.
I searched for the leasehold expiration year and found multiple direct references. The most specific remark gives December 31, 2033, so 2033 is the lease expiry year.
I looked for references to VA approval, VA financing, or VA loans accepted and found none. Instead, multiple listings explicitly state the property is cash only, which strongly indicates VA financing is not available.
I searched the remarks for any indication that the HOA provides full or walls-in insurance coverage and found no references. Because there is no explicit insurance language in the listings, this remains false with low confidence.
Neither the public remarks nor the amenity checkboxes provide positive evidence of a fire sprinkler system. Because older buildings may or may not have sprinklers and agents often omit this detail, the presence or absence of fire sprinklers cannot be reliably determined.
I looked through all remarks for fire/life safety inspection or certification language and found nothing. Since this feature is only determined from public remarks and there is no supporting text, the value remains false by default with low confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
0/12 listings are tagged with ocean views and 8/12 explicitly indicate no view (NONE), with remarks focusing on location and amenities rather than views. Given repeated absence of any ocean-view language, this is best treated as a non–ocean-view building.
MLS data show no mountain view designations and a majority of units explicitly marked as having no view. The consistent lack of any mountain-view mentions indicates buyers should not expect mountain-view units in this building.
There are no MLS view codes or remarks indicating Diamond Head views in any of the 12 listings reviewed. Repeated explicit 'NONE' view entries support treating Diamond Head view as not present for this building.
1 of 12 MLS entries specifically lists a CITY view, suggesting at least some stack/floor orientation offers a city/urban outlook. Most other listings omit views, but this single explicit city designation is enough to infer city-view units exist in the building.
No units are advertised with coastline or shoreline views despite multiple listings across time. Agents focus on walkable access to beaches rather than visual coastal outlooks, so coastline views should be considered absent.
MLS data show no garden-view designation, and units are generally described as having no view. The 'oasis' wording relates to common amenities, not a recognized garden outlook from the residences.
There are no MLS or remarks references to golf course or fairway views, with most units explicitly showing no view. This supports concluding that golf course views are not a characteristic of this building.
No listing tags a marina or harbor view, and the majority are marked with no view at all. Agents instead emphasize proximity to Ala Moana and Waikiki, not water or harbor outlooks, so marina views should not be expected.
No agent remarks mention sunrise or morning exposure, and there are no MLS sunrise view tags. Given the prevalence of 'NONE' in the view field, sunrise views appear not to be a marketed feature here.
No current listing remarks reference sunset views; there are 0/14 MLS view descriptions using SUNSET and 13/14 explicitly showing NONE. The remarks repeatedly describe tradewinds, poolside living, and walkability, but nothing about western exposure or evening sun, so the evidence strongly supports no sunset-view feature for this building.
MLS and remarks never reference a cemetery, with the majority of units flagged as having no view. Because cemetery views are typically noted when relevant, it is highly likely there are no cemetery views associated with this building.
I looked for explicit references to seeing Friday night fireworks from the units or building, such as "fireworks view" or "watch fireworks from lanai." The remarks only mention Waikiki proximity and views of general location benefits, not fireworks visibility.
No analysis available
Multiple independent listings note that pets are allowed, typically with a caveat to verify house rules, and none contradict this. The repeated, explicit references across different agents provide strong evidence that the building allows pets, likely with some conditions.
MLS checkbox data is consistent: 12/13 listings include RESMAN. Public remarks explicitly state 'on-site resident manager' and 'boasts a Resident Manager' in at least two separate listings, and there is no contrary user verification or remarks indicating the manager is no longer present. Evidence across MLS fields and agent remarks is strong that the building has a resident manager.
Remarks describe the property as a leasehold condo with minimum 6‑month rentals and no short-term rentals allowed, and there is no mention of any hotel front desk, hotel program, or condotel structure. This is strong evidence that the building is not a condotel.
Listings consistently describe a leasehold condominium with an AOAO and do not use any co-op terminology such as 'cooperative' or 'shares.' The absence of COOTAX and co-op language across all listings indicates this is not a cooperative building.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
